WOW! I did not know anybody missed me? Sorry, I thought I had beaten this thread to death. I just figured everyone got tired of me. I'll try Dan.

analogcontrolfreak, replying to your first post... I'm not a msucian too. I dont even speak English well. But for me this forum is interesting. I found few topics with 'Lounge' in title (by google) and suddenly decided to register. Have no idea why did I do so, but I'm sure - this forum will help me much!

Well, I'm glad you did.

Found someone to buy my Poly-61 keyboard. A fellow co-worker of mine, is in a band, and his keyboard player was interested in it.

Paul

Tell him to stoer it in a very dry place. Got to keep it Poly-unsaturated.

(Ok, that was bad, it's early...)

No...now hang on...It wasn't too bad. I snickered. I mean, if I had been disgusted at the ridiculous nature of the statement, then that would be one thing, but a snicker is good. Granted, not a full out laugh, but good none the less. Right?

Oh Sure! Poly-unsaturated, funny.

Now, all I need to do, is find a buyer for my K61 controller keyboard.

Paul

BTW: I know this is a bit late, but my tittle was a typeo. Instead of Why I am... it was suposed to be Why am I...

There you go buddy. All fixed.

Thanks Craig.

I tried doing a new thread, but did not get a reply? I'm guessing the downsatirs lounge, get's very little traffic? Or is it just me.

Nope, it's not you. Very slow here.

Ah! Okay. Thanks.

The service here sucks. I'm still waiting for my 12 year single malt Scotch. Guess it was only a 10 year when I ordered it...

A guy walks into a bar, sits down and says "Give me a shot of 10 year old scotch!".

The bartender, figuring the guy won't know any better slips the guy a shot of house scotch. The guy takes a sip and declares "Hey! This is house scotch! I said 10 year old scotch!"

The bartender, figuring the guy must have a bit of a pallet, hands the guy a shot of three year old scotch.

"Hey! The guy yells. This is three year old scotch! I said I wanted 10 year old scotch!"

The bartender says "Ok, pal, looks like you know your scotch. Here it is, here is a shot of 10 year old scotch, on the house".

The guy takes a sip. Smiles and says "That's what I ordered. 10 year old scotch. Thank you."

Meanwhile, an old man is sitting at the other end of the bar, sipping a drink and watching what has been going on.

"Have a sip of this!" the old man says, sliding his glass down the bar."

The guy picks up the glass, has a sip and spits it out.

"Oh my God! That tastes like piss!" he yells. "That's right" says the old man, "how old am I?".

Oh you got me?

I need someone to define "memeber" before I can tell why...

How's this?

A member is a person who belongs to a group of people or a group such as a company or nation who belongs to another group like an alliance or consortium. By extension it can refer to any part of a whole.

memeber != member

I believe he was sarcastically pointing out the spelling error in your subject line?

Oh! Dang, lysdexia.

ACF- Saw this ad on Craigslist, and thought it might be up your alley:

Edison Phonograph Cylinders

WOW! Now that is some collection. Thanks for shareing Dan.

Hi Paul

Hi Poplar.

Hi Carl.

Hmm! Well, I can't seem to stay away from here, so I'll stay here.

On a side note, I am considering buying a Mac Mini, to replace my PC. Mainly for two reasons. One my first computer, was an apple. Apple IIe to be persise, and two, because a mac will fit my personality better. Oh sure, I know a imac, or some simmilar mac would be better, but I am looking at cost, and not power. The mac mini is $599.00 whihc, is what I can afford. Besides, I have been in a PC based environment since 1997, and I am ready for a change. Also, my PC is slowing down, and not running as well as I would like. Then again, it is at least 5 years old.

Plus macs have more of the features and software that I want and like.

Paul

Everyone has a personal preference when it comes to computers. It's no secret that I am a PC guy to the end. I have a lot of reasons, but I won't get into them here.

There are a few guys here that are into Macs for recording. You should make a post in to the Recording section, and I bet you will get a few good pointers.

Thank You Craig. I'll do just that.

Paul

You haven't said how your band is going. I'm of the firm belief practices allow the player to find the strong areas of playing keys or another instrument. If you get asked to play a tune, make it song people might get into for the same reason you did.

If singing is your strongest area, even background harmonies, your just denying them a performance. Being of firm belief is a figure of speech, as I've learned much about my playing should have made me a better instrumentalist.

The bands often focus on a genre. However attractive the options, try staying within some boundaries and keep solos in focus with the original. In the bustle of playing, you'll find many opportunities for creative ways to get back to the solo.

By the way, studies, practice, launching more then a few attempts, after hearing some playback the volume was so low, always, and for good reason, I decided I don't have much to offer the music world.

Singing would have brought up a level of enjoyment, by having an integral way for relating directly in expression from your 'instrument'.

Thank you for not saying anything about how I write.

I'm not in a band.

I wouldn't recommend it.
